pedition. and now confined in the1 vaults of,
Carthagena, South-America :
Rcomed i hat the President of the Unit-

obtain' the liberation of the prisoners, if it shall
t i .1 ' .
appvar to ais sansiacnon tnai mey were, mvo-
(.untanly drawn Into the unlawlul enterpnze in
which the.y were engaged, and that
dollars be appropriated for that purpose.'
Mr. M'Kim moved to liU the blank with
3,500 dollars. '
. Mr. Randolph sard be believed there would
be no better time than on this motion to ex
press the disapprobation which he felt of the
report; for he was unwilling, in his representa
tive .capacity, to give one cent of the public
money for bringing back into the bosom of the
body politick these unfortunate but guilty men.
He knew, how invidious tt task Jt wa to lean
to the side, of inhumanity ; he knew how very
natural it was for fae mind of man to relent,
after the contrbissioo of a crime, and to see no
thing in a culprit but his misfortunes, forget
ting his guilt but there were occasions, and
he took this to be one, where to lean apparent
ly to" the side, of humanity is an act of as great
injustice and cruelty to society as the legis,la
ture can commit; ., What were the House a-
bout' to do? To make an appropriation of
money for ah extraordinary purpose of foreign
intercourse. Was' hot the President of the
United States already invested with power to
nesociate with the Spanish government on this.;
as well as with any other government on any
subject ' Was the President ot the United
States presumed to have turned a deaf ear tq
the cries of our suffering countrymen iii capti
vity in a foreign nation ? Mr. K. said this was
not like a question of redeeming our country-;
men from slavery m Barb'ary or Tripoli ; but
it was a question whether this government
would lend its countenance to that class of men
who, were concerned in the expeditib'nsof. Mi
rad""and Aarou Burr. He for one saict that
he trnnlrl not consent to it : and that those per
sons who. above the dull pursbiti of civiflifei
had enlisted under hse leaders, might take,
for hinv however He miht feel (of; their situ
ation as men. the lot'whicVth'emsclvei had se
letted; -He said he considered them i'es f owf
the articles of commerce and manufacture1
which it might be contemplated to encourage
by bountv and premiums he confessed for one
that the importation of such eititens as these
was not an article of traffic which would meet
with any encouragement lronviim ,,JK,lar.
from being afraid of anV ill consequences re-'
suiting from the sparseDess cf our population,
he was afraid that our population (aor. experi
ence had tested tV fact) sparse as k was in
number, in. quality, wn redundant. ', We have i
been told (said Mr. 11.1. and I believe it, tha-
but the other day the Foreign OSice in . Great -
iJntain cat lis eyes on Col. Kurr, and that;
they either did commit him -1 understand
that he was committed and stood so for some
time, and .was only released on condition of
quitting the country that they either did com-:
mit or .theaten ! imprison that unfortunate ;
man. I want to know, sir, if he bad stood so
committed, Ih what respect his case, in a poli
tical point of view Srould have stood contru
distinguisEed from that of these petitioners ?
I can see no difference but such as in my mind
would have operated. to his advantage. There'
is an equality of guilt, but on his part a superi
ority of intellectual character which would
have, rendered him, if there is to.be an acces
sion to the state bv bringing back to its bosom
those who have voluntarily thrown themselves
out of the protection of the country, a mere
valuable acquisition, or rather a less, valuable
loss, than these unfortunate men. .' -
It appears to me, sir; that in passing this re
olutton we shall hold up a premium to vice j
"r a a . '
tor ti this proposition De agrceq to, wnen tonic
new Miranda crBurromes forward witli his
project, lie will tell his conspirators that they
will have nothinir more to do, should the mat
ter turn out adversely, than to put up a face
and tell Congress that they were involuntarily
drawn into it an. extraordinary mode to be
sure of volunteering to go against their Will.
These involuntary Volunteers will be told they
will have nothing to do but to throw thehole
veight of the blame, on the original mover of
the expedition, and Congress twill tax their
fellow-creatures who (poor souls I) had not en
larged -and liberal minds and wer not content
with the dull pursuits of civil Iife,'for redeem
ing them, clothing them and bringing them
back again to society I, I wish the committee
to take the thing into consideration. As mtn
and christians pur conduct, is to be governed
by one rule ; as Representatives of the people
other considerations are proper. There is in
the proposed interference no justice; mere
may be much tnercy, but it is a roercv which
carries cruelty, if not deliberate, the most per-
A ' lJ i .
nicious oi au possioie apeaes ot cruelty, alonc-
with it. Suppose these' men had been arrest-
ea ana triea in mis country, wnat wouia nave
been their lot ? It is difficult for "me to aav :
I am.no lawyer; but. I suppose junder the
mild Institutions in some of our statefs they
would bavejseen condemed tofftard labour for
life. , In what do they differ to their advantage
from other felons I In nothincr. Who would
step forward to rescue, them' from that punish
ment due to their crime if convicted fiy our
own courts? Nobody. Every body would
have said that they deseryed it. Now, oft the
contrary, having escaped the hand of justice
in this country- and fallen into the fcraso of the
strong hand of power inanother country, we are
not contented to let them reap what they have
sown; we are notcontented to leave them in the
hands of justice. I believe that there exists a
proper disposition in the Executive to interfere
where American citizensare wrongfully treated
abroad. And shall we come forward and open
the public purse, and assume on ourselves the
responsibility' of that act which the President
refuses to do, and thus share among us the im
putation, such as it may be, which society
chuses to cast upon us inconsequence of it,
instead, of letting it fall singly and individually
upon him in case. he chuse to incur it? No,
sit. I have no disposition to pass this reso-t
lution to take the responsibility upon myself,
In- short, I : should have been glad; instead of
telling ut that these men are unfortunate and
miserable fur who are so unfortunate an4
miserable as the truly guilty i -that the mem
hers- of 'that committee or. the respectable
chairman himself had come forward and shewn
theclaiti. of these petitioners to, the peculiar
patronage of the count n'. So far , from any
disposition to bring them backI would allow
a arawoaca or oouoty on ine exponauon o
every man of similar pfinciplcs. . ..
